[Hon. Mohammed Bello El-Rufai @B_ELRUFAI]

Today, we celebrate the enduring strength of our democracy and the collective voice of the Nigerian people. Democracy thrives when leadership is accountable, citizens are empowered, and every voice is heard. As we commemorate this important day, we must also acknowledge that while our democracy continues to endure, the abuse of citizens' rights remains a troubling reality. The true test of any democracy is not simply the conduct of elections, but its commitment to the rule of law, due process, and the protection of fundamental freedoms.

The continued unlawful detention of my father, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, alongside the experiences of many other Nigerians who have faced similar violations, serves as a reminder that our democratic journey is far from complete.

On this Democracy Day, let us recommit ourselves to building a nation where justice prevails, institutions are strengthened, and the rights of every citizen are respected and protected.

Happy Democracy Day, Nigeria.

HOW EL-RUFAI’S TRAVAILS BEGAN

I read and hear all manner of commentary about how Mallam Nasir El-Rufai's current travails started or the reason(s) for it but most of them miss the mark, or are either incorrect or outrightly mischievous - intended to cover up probably the most grievous betrayal in the history of Nigerian politics.

Hear This ..

I. El-Rufai’s current travail did not start with, neither is it because of his tenure as Governor of Kaduna state or whatever happened or did not happen then. Far from it. We have seen the charges.

@elrufai can over satisfactorily account for his tenure as Governor of Kaduna (highs and lows and positives and negatives, inclusive). I mean, when the likes of Bello, Ortom, Okowa, Ikpeazu and co are freely roaming around.

The fact is that, as far as Governors and governance in Nigeria go, El-Rufai is unarguably one of best performed Governors and one of the most successful, efficient and effective public servants that Nigeria has produced from 1999 to date. So, what are we talking about?

II. El-Rufai’s current travails are also not because of what he said on Arise Television. Do not let anyone decieve you. We all heard what he said. That is for the court to decide on. The court is on it and we are following proceedings and we are "not a fool".

On The Contrary & Please Flow With Me ...

▪︎ El-Rufai’s current travails actually started and the foundation was laid when he stood up for the honor and character of Arewa (the North) to honor its words with respect to a geopolitical zone and a tribe, and ultimately in favour of a man - who unbeknownst to him and to many of us (by the way) - had no intention -:from day one - to be honourable.

That day was the day and the historic words El-Rufai uttered that day - captured in the attached video - were the words that sealed his (El-Rufai’s) fate and set the stage for what is currently happening to him. 'Ironical', some might say, but that is the sad reality.

The man who "Nasiru" made enemies and offended kith, kin and associates for - in pushing them to stand up for the character and honor of Arewa and ultimately em-POWER-ing to succeed - knew from the day one that he would use that same power to deal with him - because in his mind, only a king maker can dethrone a king.

So, make no mistake and do not be decieved. That is the reason El-Rufai is in the current situation he is in today. Every other thing is secondary or consequential to that.

If that fateful day in Kaduna did not happen and if El-Rufai did not follow through and pull all the stops, against all odds, the king would not have been crowned and El-Rufai definitely won't be in the situation he is in today and all the drama of courts, charges and bails won't be happening.

Yet, men of honour and character do not regret their acts of honor, integrity and courage. Yes, they might suffer discomfort and pains for it, but only for a moment and for as long as and to the extent that God permits.

Ultimately, they own and maintain the higher moral ground and in the fullness of time, God and posterity will vindicate them.

The other side might rejoice in their treachery and betrayal today, but that which they dread the most and for which they plot and scheme might yet happen to them. More consequentially, history will never forget.

A must-read for anyone interested in El-Rufai; it's long but worthwhile.

Reminiscence: Working with El-Rufai in the FCT

By Auwalu Anwar.

Since his voluntary but spectacular return to the country from Cairo on 12 February 2026 and subsequent incarceration by the agents of Emperor Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the story of Malam Nasir Ahmad El- Rufai (NAE) has been narrated differently by many interest groups, including his acquaintances, friends, human rights activists, journalists, lawyers and politicians. However, what I found conspicuously missing in all the narratives that I came across is, an objective analysis of his character as an administrator by someone who worked closely with or under him in any of the three public places he administered, namely: Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Kaduna State. For instance, the common remarks about his style of leadership that presented him either as a mere sinner or a revered saint, without making any attempt to go beyond the smokescreen of such moral categorization were both irrelevant and unhelpful for the proper understanding of his essential nature as an administrator or a public servant.

How did NAE, for instance, conceive, protect or violate the trust given to him when he served as Director General, BPE; Minister of the FCT or Governor of Kaduna State? How did he recruit and relate with his political appointees, who were answerable to him? What was the extent of his distance or interference in running the day- to- day affairs of the MDAs under his jurisdiction; but especially in the implementation of their capital projects? This write- up aims to frankly answer these crucial questions, with particular reference to my experiences working with and under him in the FCT.

I first came across NAE in 1998 when a mutual friend, Malam Bashir Yusuf Ibrahim, invited me to the inaugural meeting of an All- Nigeria Elite Group known as the Abuja Initiative or simply AI, in Abuja. NAE was then working as an economic adviser and member of the Programme Implementation and Monitoring Committee under General Abdulsalami Abubakar. Because of the activities of AI and my relationship with Bashir, our paths continued to cross at that time.

With the formation of the Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) and the emergence of General Olusegun Obasanjo as President, NAE was appointed Director General of the BPE. I later became Special Adviser (Political) to the Speaker, House of Representatives, the purposeful and selfless Rt. Hon. Ghali Umar Na'Abba in February 2000. When NAE established a steering committee on Competition and Anti- Trust in the BPE, he appointed me as one of the members. It was an influential committee with many respected persons including Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Comrade Adams Oshiomole, Professor Charles Soludo, Madam Oby Ezekwesili, Hajiya Maryam Uwais and Mr. Asue Ighodalo, constituting the membership.

In 2003, on his appointment as Minister of the FCT, NAE met with all categories of staff and audited all the operational organs of the institution. To his dismay, he discovered that civil servants had all the time to lazy around as much as they wanted for two reasons: firstly, they had thirty- five years to stay in the service; they could also live up to sixty years before retirement. As such, most of them had no motivation for initiative, innovation, or even commitment to the responsibilities for which they were employed.

To change the trajectory, he thought of creating mandate secretariats, which would operate like state ministries and appoint secretaries, who would serve as commissioners. He compiled all his findings, the audited reports of all the sectors and his vision for a way forward into a comprehensive document. He shared copies of the documents with Bashir, Asue and my humble self to study for a week, with the request that we should all think of suitable individuals who would be invited to assist him in running the new structure.
